Ⅱ.阅读理解
The NBA's version of the Ming Dynasty is done. After helping pro basketball gain a foothold in the world's most populous market, Chinese star Yao Ming has retired.
Yao made it official Wednesday, telling a news conference that a series of foot and leg injuries forced him to end his playing career at the age of 30.
“I will formally end my career，” said Yao, who became a household name in China before starting his NBA career with the Houston Rockets in 2002. Yao played eight seasons in the NBA.
“Today is an important day for me and holds a special meaning for both my basketball career and my future，” Yao said. “I had to leave the court since I suffered a stress fracture(断裂) in my left foot for the third time at the end of last year. My past six months were a painful wait. I have been thinking about my future over and over. Today I am announcing a personal decision, ending my career as a basketball player and officially retire. But_one_door_is_closing_and_another_one_is_opening.”
Yao said he would return to work with his former Chinese team, the Shanghai Sharks, with the possibility of becoming general manager. He already owns the club and wants to contribute more.
“My playing career started with the club. I hope I can do something for it，” Yao said.
He later appeared with his family on the stage to the applause and cheers of the crowd. He thanked a lot of people—his family, former coaches, even players like Shaquille O'Neal—“for making me a better player, I will be always with you. Thank you.”
Rockets general manager Daryl Morey was among those attending the farewell(告别)conference Wednesday. Morey made the long trip from Houston. Morey said 20 hours on planes was tiring but “I would be sorry if I wasn't here.” “It's a big moment，” Morey added. “Yao had a sense of humor, a great attitude and sense of responsibility. I hope we can continue his culture in the NBA.”
Yao had played six years with the Chinese national team before joining the Rockets, and was already a star in his home country. He carried the Olympic torch through Tian'anmen Square and his country's flag during the opening ceremonies at the Beijing Olympics in 2008. He also donated $2 million and set up a foundation to rebuild schools in the wake of the 2008 earthquake in Sichuan.
16．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A．Yao Ming: a household name
B．Chinese great Yao Ming retires from basketball
C．A farewell conference
D．Yao Ming's personal decision
17．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 mean?
A．He has retired from playing basketball and his new career will begin.
B．He can't go to the US because of his retirement.
C．He is welcomed in his motherland.
D．He will return to work with the charity.
18．According to the passage, which of the following words can't be used to describe Yao Ming?
A．Talented.
B．Responsible.
C．Generous.
D．Cautious.
19．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．The reason why Yao Ming retired is that he is too old.
B．Yao Ming played six years in America.
C．Yao Ming started his playing career in Houston.
D．Yao Ming was once an Olympic torchbearer.

答案
课时作业(五)
Ⅰ.1.B 考查倒装句。“Only＋状语从句”置于句首，主句应该用部分倒装结构，故排除A、C两项。再结合状语从句中的过去完成时可判断该空应该用一般过去时，故选B。
2．A 分析句子结构可知，空格处需填连词，引导时间状语从句，故选A项，相当于连词的作用。
3．B 考查情景交际。根据下文的“The skies are dark and cloudy.”可知，应选B，意为“我想是吧”。
4．C 考查turn构成的动词短语。第二句句意：我没在真正看书，只是在翻书。turn over“翻身；翻过(一页书)”，符合句意。
5．B 考查定语从句。 句意为：21世纪的第一个十年是中国取得一些重大成就的十年。the one指代The first decade，指的是时间。the one 是定语从句的先行词，而引导词又在从句中作时间状语，所以用when或in which。
6．A 考查动词短语辨析。turn to“转向， 变成， 求助”。本句意思为“随着互联网的普及，越来越多的人转向网上买卖东西。”根据句意选A。
7．C 考查“介词＋关系代词”的用法。介词to 和后面的turn构成“turn to sb. for sth.”结构。
8．A 考查非谓语动词。Madam Curie devoted all her life to为定语从句，修饰先行词the element。去掉定语从句后就会发现，句子缺少谓语动词，故选A。
9．B 考查动词辨析。表示自然灾害“侵害”了某地，我们可以用hit, attack或strike, 但不可以用knock。句意为：我们每个人都依然记得几年前那场袭击汶川的可怕的地震。
10．C 考查定语从句和强调句型。句意：我认为一定是在我们一起吃饭的饭店里我丢的钥匙。第一个空是考查以where引导的定语从句，修饰先行词the restaurant；第二个空考查强调句型。被强调的部分是in the restaurant。故选C项。
11．B 考查代词和连词。句意：“几天前，他几乎在车祸中丧生。”“噢，那确切是什么时间的事？”“那是在4月28日他在机动车道上骑自行车时。”第一个空考查代词，that指上文提到的事；第二个空考查以when引导的定语从句。从when was ________ exactly？可知是对时间提问，并非强调一件事情发生的时间，答语应为定语从句，故选when。答案为B。
12．C 考查定语从句。句意：在这个电影里这个人打碎门的这部分使得一些观众大叫一声。主句的主语是the part，谓语是made，part的后面跟了定语从句，在定语从句中引导词作地点状语。
13．B 考查冠词的用法。句意：你认为2017年伦敦举办奥运会是一份巨大的回报吗？第一空用不定冠词a，表示泛指；第二空用定冠词the特指2017年的奥运会。
14．A 考查动词的用法。escape后面一般跟动名词作宾语。句意为：亨利承认了错误，避免了受惩罚。
15．D 修饰比较级more表程度，四个选项中只有far符合语境。句意为：我们发现玛丽弟弟的故事书比安的弟弟的多得多。
Ⅱ.7月20日NBA休斯敦火箭队球员姚明在上海召开资讯媒体发布会，宣布因饱受伤痛之苦，正式退役。他说，回顾过去，展望未来，内心充满感激。他表示自己要感谢篮球，感谢生活，感谢亲人和所有的朋友。
16．B 主旨大意题。纵观全文可以看出，文章向我们讲述的是姚明因饱受伤痛之苦，正式退役一事，所以B项最能概括全文，其他各项都太笼统。
17．A 句意理解题。该句上文告诉我们姚明退役，下文告诉我们他崭新事业的开始，由此可以推出，该句表达的意思和A项所表达的意思相同。
18．D 推理判断题。根据Yao played eight seasons in the NBA.可知A项正确；根据倒数第二段中sense of responsibility可知B项正确；根据文章最后一句可知姚明很慷慨，也就是C项正确；D项(谨慎的，小心的)没有信息支持。
19．D 细节理解题。由最后一段的“He carried the Olympic torch through Tian'anmen Square”可以看出，姚明曾是奥运会的火炬手。由第二段可知，姚明退役是因为伤病原因，也就是说A项错误；由最后一段的第一句话可以看出B项错误；由第五段的第一句话“Yao said he would return to work with his former Chinese team, the Shanghai Sharks，…”可以看出姚明的篮球事业是从上海开始的，也就是说C项错误。
Ⅲ.One possible version：
Dear Jim，
How time flies! You asked me how I spent my summer vacation in your last email.As you know, I finished my college entrance exams this year and I had nearly three months' rest.So I did have a meaningful and unforgettable summer vacation.
First, I went to the Driving School to learn to drive so as to get a driving license, which is a very popular activity among Chinese youngsters.I got a driving license and improved my living skills.Then, to make good preparations for my further education, I attended some English courses to improve my oral English.Besides, I paid a visit to some tourist attractions in Beijing in August, which was really wonderful and made a deep impression on me.Most importantly, I learned to cook meals and do housework, through which I got to know it is not easy for my parents to serve me all these years.
This is what I did in my summer vacation.What about your exams and your summer vacation? I'm looking forward to receiving your letter as soon as possible.
Yours sincerely，
Li Hua
